- Package name, or package specifier with version, like C(name-1.0).
If a previous version is specified, the task also needs to turn
C(allow_downgrade) on. See the C(allow_downgrade) documentation for
caveats with downgrading packages. When using state=latest, this can
be '*' which means run C(yum -y update). You can also pass a url
or a local path to a rpm file (using state=present). To operate on
several packages this can accept a comma separated list of packages
or (as of 2.0) a list of packages.

notes:
- When used with a loop of package names in a playbook, ansible optimizes
the call to the yum module. Instead of calling the module with a single
package each time through the loop, ansible calls the module once with all
of the package names from the loop.
- When used with a `loop:` each package will be processed individually,
it is much more efficient to pass the list directly to the `name` option.
- In versions prior to 1.9.2 this module installed and removed each package
given to the yum module separately. This caused problems when packages
specified by filename or url had to be installed or removed together. In
